Buffalo Sonnet: Launch Event for Audio Described Digital Comic
February 27 @ 4:00 pm - 5:15 pm
Buffalo Sonnet is a digital comic inspired by the historic San Juan Hill neighborhood, created by writer and illustrator Kamau Ware. In collaboration with the Social Audio Description Collective, we’re excited to launch an audio described version of the work, designed for audiences who are blind or have low vision.
Join us for a live virtual event to experience the full comic, scrolling with audio description, followed by a conversation with the artist and Nefertiti Matos Olivares and Thomas Reid, members of the Social Audio Description Collective, about the inspiration for the work, artistic process, and the practice of making comics accessible for people who are blind or have low vision.
